From the term used I can easily determine you are more conservative than most here, and even if your comment got reported multiple time on the basis of rule 2, I'd like not to overreact and give you the occasion to develop a bit more your arguments by providing examples instead of just "its like that because I feel like it is like that".
So, could you please kindly provide, as other in this thread asked, example of :
I believe this would help open a more open conversation than some politically opposite attacking each other personally.
In my humble opinion, Games being a work of art as much as it is an entertainment, it is up to the creator to chose what kind of story it want to talk about.
Does they want to talk about how the LGBTQ community, which has been oppressed for a long time, in their game ? Fine by me, at lease I can have some insight from the viewpoint of someone of this community, albeit virtual, to better understand said topic.
Those topics where not talked at all previously, so of course it would feel like it becomes a lot more present in the last years, just by contrast with the absence of it in previous titles. It is also a brand new storytelling topic on which game designer have very little experience with, so it is logical for it to be talked about awkwardly at time (thus the need for specialized consulting firm like Sweet Baby Inc), with some very obvious stitches at times. Just give them time to understand how to blend it better in the story and gameplay, and you'll get the fun games you wish for, with a diverse cast you won't even have to complain about.
